We identified 904 women with proven primary lung cancer (mean age 63.9 years), many of whom have never smoked (32.3%), particularly in cases of adenocarcinoma (43.4%). Small cell cancer accounted for 16.1% of cases. Adenocarcinomas were the most frequent (45.3%) of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), followed by squamous cell (23.4%), large cell (11.6%) and bronchoalveolar (1.9%) carcinomas. About one third (32.2%) of NSCLC were stage III and 48.1% were stage IV. Over half of all adenocarcinomas were stage IV. According to multivariate analysis, adenocarcinoma is related to less smoking and younger age. In conclusion, many women affected by lung cancer have never smoked. Adenocarcinoma appears to be the most frequent form and more often at a metastatic stage.

The French College of General Hospital Respiratory Physicians conducted two prospective epidemiological multicentre studies at a 10-year interval (KBP-2000-CPHG and KBP-2010-CPHG). These studies included all adult patients with primary lung cancer histologically or cytologically diagnosed between 1(st) January and 31(st) December for the years 2000 and 2010, managed in the pneumology department of the participating hospitals. A standardised form was completed for each patient. A steering committee checked recruitment exhaustiveness. Vital status 1 year after diagnosis was collected. In 2000 and 2010 respectively, 137 and 104 centres included 3921 and 4597 men and 748 and 1486 women with NSCLC. In 2010 compared to 2000, male patients were older but had better performance status (PS); they were less frequently ever-smokers and heavy smokers; their cancer (usually diagnosed at advanced stage) was more often adenocarcinoma (p<0.0001). In 10 years, 1-year mortality has significantly decreased in men (from 61.2% to 56.6%, p<0.0001) and in women (from 58.1% to 50.9%, p<0.0001), but remained higher in men than in women leading to increased difference between men and women. Decreased 1-year mortality remained statistically significant after adjustment on age, PS, smoking, and histology (men: OR=0.81, 95% CI=0.73-0.90, p<0.0001; women: 0.71, 0.57-0.88, p<0.002). Active smoking was not a prognosis factor in men (OR=1.04, CI=0.79-1.37, p=0.78); age (>75 years) had less impact on mortality in men than in women (men: OR=1.43, CI=1.22-1.67, p≤0.0001; women: OR=2.32, CI=1.71-3.15; p<0.0001). The improved 1-year survival in 2010 as compared with 2000 was independent of age, smoking, PS, and histology, suggesting that it reflected new treatment and strategy efficacy. One-year mortality remains higher in men than in women.

Cette pneumonie s’est traduite cliniquement par une oxygenodependance de courte duree et deux episodes d’hemoptysie et radiologiquement par des opacites alveolo-interstitielles diffuses. Ce diagnostic est rare et interessant a connaitre et a evoquer lors d’accidents similaires, surtout lorsque de telles images radiologiques ne trouvent pas d’autre explication diagnostique.

Corrigé, résumé et mots-clés Géodésie sacrée de la France Saint Michel gardien et guide des itinéraires sacrés antiques entre Mont-Cenis et mont Saint-Michel. Jacques Berruchon. Résumé L'archange saint Michel aurait tracé un itinéraire sacré entre le Gargano et le mont Tombe, futur mont Saint-Michel. Cet axe d'azimut 300° relie trois monts qui lui sont consacrés : Gargano, Sacra de San Michele et mont Tombe. Dès le passage au Mont-Cenis, il s'organise une répartition géométrique des grands sanctuaires selon des directions particulières. Ils sont associés entre eux par une géodésie de création plus ancienne : Puy de Dôme, Saint-Michelen-L'Herm, Reims, Montlhéry. Le trajet Mont-Cenismont Tombe a intéressé les rois et les tribus gauloises. Il est balisé par les mésaventures de taureaux qui sont aussi géomètres. Les Mediolanums sont associés aux tracés. Il s'agit d'un axe primordial pour comprendre les origines de la géographie sacrée d'une grande partie de la France.

She has followed old sacred iteneraries.acting like a Great Goddess saving the God of Thunder (Charles the seventh) . An ontological legend about the french kingdom has been rebuilt associating popular memories of the great goddess and a genuine fidelity to a very ancient scheme of sacred geography.A very successful exercise of political and religious communication indeed..

Saint Hervé, Saint Méen, Saint Pol of Leon follow specific oriented routes symbolic of their holy activities. It enables us to draw a quadrilater with the trips of four of them, forerunners of the Tro Breiz.

The Tro Breiz is probably a remnant of former circumambulations.It has been published in Academaia under the form of a draft with the title:"Art 2 GSB fig N et B def"

Neolithics have probably conceved the first lines with complements added in the Middle Ages by monks..

Saint Denis as a cephalophore moved the cult of Mercury from Montmartre to his burial place, holding his head in his hands.Suger wanted to make the basilica the place of coronation of the french kings.Saint Denis is anchored in the landscape of Île de France. according to a precise network founded o,n a 36 apices polygon.

The dungeon was centered by a pillar reminiscent of a legendary oak which stood nearby. The king served justice for everyone at the foot of that tree. The pillar is symbolic of an axis mundi. We give examples of similar architectural features representing a two-way link between heaven and earth.

Examining the routes from megalith to megalith we observe that they often follow an azimut multiple of 10° and that they cross at sacred places known for ancient cults, belonging to a regular pattern derived from a thirty-six sided polygon centered by the puy de Dôme. Secondary centers appear: Montlhery, Montjavoult. These megaliths are not erected at random , but according to a sacred geometry similar to that of Woodhenge and easily realized without instruments.
